About me

Gender Female
Industry Maritime
Occupation Deck Officer
Location Auckland, New Zealand
Introduction I am currently working as a 3rd/2nd Officer on a ship now after completing my cadetship with InterIslander Ferries on Cook Strait in 2007. I now have my 1st Mates Foriegn Going ticket, my AMSA CoR, and UK CoEC. I now just have my Masters Oral Exam to go in November 2013 :-) I love doing what I do whether it is working on the bridge of a ship, watch keeping, on deck working, cargo watches, safety training drills and audit inspections, paper work and administration, the whole shabang! I have worked on Rail ferries, RoRo Container, General Cargo, Bulk Cement, Medical Supply Vessel, a Cruise Ship and Product Tankers.
Interests My blogpages will be about my experiences at sea, fun times and significant events in my life as well as also about dealing with life issues as a woman. I love snowboarding, scuba diving, sailing, surfing, running, studying, teaching, working and bending over backwards to help someone out. I am as open as a book :-)

The squish of mud between your toes; how would you live your life as a frog?

If you have asked me when i was 10, "would i ever consider going to sea?" i would have said: "you have got to be joking, girls dont go to sea!!!" - funny how things change aye.
